The first thing to talk about, gentlemen: Annual Meeting of the Class, on the weeke nd of October 11 and 12. This is the main thing we do as a Class. We whom you have elected to puzzle over such matters have found this the most promising concept for class action. The roads to Hanover are improving. (Thruways now to within 2½ hours of Hanover, and getting closer), Northeast Airlines to Lebanon. The Hopkins Center is a big new addition in liveliness. Then, Dartmouth night, the Brown football game, the height of the autumn foliage, the never missing warmth of being around our college home and college friends ... these items are not new developments, just valuable rewards to you for planning the October 11-12 visit.
Agenda: Fri. night - Dartmouth Night festivities; Sat. morning - Class meeting; Sat. noon - Class lunch; Sat. afternoon Brown football game; Sat. evening - Class cocktail party and dinner, and Gold Pick Axe Award. Secure your football tickets through D.C.A.C. in regular fashion. For accommodations you'll need to make your own arrangements.

Fred Springer-Miller: "At the end of May I became assistant manager of corporate promotions for the IBM World Trade Corp., with responsibility for the IBM installations at the Olympics in Innsbruck and Tokyo, among other things. The job involves much coordinating, negotiating, expediting, and other vague things, plus design and organization of the first large scale teleprocessing systems in the world. Until now I've been a systems engineer in the San Francisco branch of IBM. Before that I worked at so many things I have lost count. My family will move east and I will be seen at some alumni functions in that part of the country. Of course I will have to resign as president of the Dartmouth Outing Club of Northern California." Interview Fred on large scale teleprocessing in Hanover October 12.
